@zep hey zep, i know it's likely very low down on your priority list but it seems upgrading the pocketchip to a newer linux kernel breaks pico8's mouse input. everything else works, we just can't click on anything including the editor. this seems to be because inputs are now handled as touch rather than raw mouse input, would you consider looking into it at any point? thank you for continuing to update pico8 for pocketchip regardless!
@mose there's a package "xinput" which should give you some output with "xinput test-xi2"
@mose unrelated to the touchscreen, does it come with Plymouth and is that what handles the stock boot screen? what is the default theme named if so? (check /usr/share/plymouth/themes)
i made a theme called "pocketchip" and if it conflicts with the default one i want to rename it: https://github.com/Lana-chan/plymouth-theme-pocketchip
@mose does the touch screen work with the latest pico8? (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=34009 has the zip download, if you can run it, escape to enter the editor and click the icons in the top right then it does), and if so, can you check with xinput what the xi2 events your touch screen fires? (mine says something like TouchBegin and TouchEnd)
it doesn't work on mine and i'm trying to figure out why
do i know anyone with a #pocketchip who's still on kernel 4.4? i'd like to confirm some things with the touch screen without having to reflash mine to an older kernel
@NanoRaptor yes
I think this #xz thing is gonna go down as the day #FLOSS officially lost its innocence.
You know what I hope comes out of this moment of sincere sadness for those who care about this stuff?
A sense that we will no longer be abused by Megacorps who build on the backs of our work but can't be arsed to help fund that work despite the fact that literally THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF THEIR BUSINESS depends on it.
Do you think #google, #amazon or #facebook could exist in their current form without oodles of super high quality free software to run their server swarms on?
Because they can't. For those of us old enough to remember, just imagine "the cloud" if every virtual server required a Solaris or SCO license.
If you've given all you can give, walk away. Open source is wonderful and amazing but you are human and your health and well being is more important. I don't care what falls down as a result.
@polpo i know what you mean, though to me even seeing the earliest trinitron TVs from the 70s looks fake. hey, cylindrical picture tubes don't go there!
@polpo luggable. i guess it could be luggage, too. for the computer parts inside it.
@polpo oohhh i want to know more about the trinitron luggage
@lmorchard my dream "job"
#embedded #linux heads: i'm trying to change the boot animation on my #pocketchip. i can change the plymouth theme and update-initramfs and it shows the theme i picked. i cannot for the life of me preview plymouth without rebooting the computer, trying to debug plymouthd under x simply fails to use graphical mode and all i can previeiw is the fallback text boot splash. but on a real boot it works fine. help me not reboot my device a hundred times to test new themes
